Ranking the Red Sox

ESPN formed a panel to rank the top 500 players in the majors based on how they're expected to perform in 2013. The Red Sox did not fare well, with Dustin Pedroia as the top-ranked Sox player at No. 42.

What you'll find HERE is a slightly different exercise. ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes was tasked with ranking each player on the expected Red Sox roster based on their importance to the 2013 team.
